Description	Streptococcus thermophilus is one of the most widely used lactic acid bacteria in the dairy industry as a starter culture component in the manufacture of fermented dairy products, such as yoghurts. Carboxyl-functionalised magnetic microspheres (P(HEMA-co-EDMA) were used for the isolation of PCR-ready DNA from yoghurt and milk drink samples containing PCR inhibitors. The quality of extracted DNA was checked by PCR using primers specific to Streptococcus thermophilus.
